Conservative? Yes, But Von Papen Is Germany’s Chief Trouble-Maker

Storm center of German polities, A ieerbanrrllor Frani von Papen again finds himself in an important role as the man who warned Hitler of the impending revolt. Milton Bmnner. European manager of \FA Servire, now in America for a brief visit, here sketches his turbulent rareer. BY MILTON BRONNER European Manager, NEA Service NEW YORK. July s.—Franz von Papen. wealthy, middle-aged, west German junker, military officer and politician, may never go down in history as either a great statesman ior a great soldier, but he certainly will have his page in German story as the champion hot-water kid. Between periods of complete obscurity, he always is getting into fluid situations at boiling point and, consequently, finding his place in I the flaring newspaper headlines. For a conservative, he has had an unusual share in exciting crises. His speech on June 17, criticising the regime and assailing radicalism within the Nazi party, brought about the showdown in Germany’s factional wrangling. And during the sanguinary smashing of the subsequent revolt, he had to undergo arrest for his own protection. Up to the time of the world war, Von Papen was just another well-to-do young officer in the Prussian army. Then he came to America as military attache to the German embassy and soon found his way right into the midst of plenty of trouble. Chased By Wilson To him and his coadjutor. Captain Bov-ed, German naval attache, were attributed many of the violations of American neutrality before the United States entered the war. In no uncertain terms President Wilson let it be known that their room was better than their company, and they left. The absentminded Franz before that had lost some papers which made exceed- ! inglv interesting reading for the American secret service. But Von Papen was forgotten, , and his country sent him as a sol- ! dier to the Oriental front to serve with the Turks, battling against the English. The war over, twilight enfolded him. Then one fine day in 1932, Chancellor Bruening resigned and the aged President Hindenburg tossed a bombshell on the German public. He named Von Papen. the untried political novice, as chancellor. The Socialists and the Centre stormed. But the worst hurricane of all was raised by the infuriated Nazis. Dr. Goebbels, Hitlers right-hand man and chief propagandist, scornfully denounced him as a reactionary. He was faced by an almost totally hostile Reichstag and soon quit his job to be suc--1 ceeded by a man who the other day fell in disgrace before the guns of police—General Kurt von Schleicher. Put Hitler in Tower Von Papen seemed all through. Then suddenly he reappeared as the good broker for Adolf Hitler, th? very man whose party had been bitterly assailing him. The smooth Franz got the chancellorship for Hitler and the vice-chancellorship for himself. But once the Nazis climbed into tl\e saddle, they diverted all the limelight to Hitler, Goering and Goebbels. Von Papen became a sort of super errand boy to run on missions to the Vatican and the Saar. Now he is once more the storm center of German politics. In a country where most people are muzzled. Von Papen made a strikingly outspoken speech at the University of Marburg. He castigated the youthful revolutionaries who ! called men of his type reactionaries. He pleaded for full right to in- ! dulge in justified criticism. He seemed to slap at the tendency of some Nazis, who seek to bend the Christian churches to their will. He boldly asserted that the Acid Stomach Vanishing Acid ntomaeh, uloorm, gas paint*, heartburn, indication and other signs of excess acidity are no longer a problem, according to thousands of former stomach sufferers. Thanks to a treatment based on a specialist's prescription, they now tell ofjiealthy appetites, freedom from distress, and sound sleep.

belief that a people could be united by terror should be rejected. Then he sat back and waited. He did not have to wait long. He had the supreme humiliation of seeing his speech suppressed by his old enemy, Goebbels. But his critics were not suppressed. The Balt, Rosenberg. mentor-in-chief to the Nazi youths, blasted loose in Hitler's own paper. The trusty Nazi biographer-in-chief, Dr. Von Lee’s, wrote in another: "What would reaction like best? It would like us to do the marching and it all the thinking; us to be the fist and it the head." Germans reading between the lines of these anathemas, which omitted Von Papens name, knew something unusual had happened. Foreign newspapers were bought up like hot cakes. In the meantime Von Papen, stormed into Hitler's office and offered his resignation, which was promptly declined. What Goebbels and his clique did not know was that the text of Von Pa pen's speech had been read and approved by Hindenburg and that, after its public delivery, the president had sent the speaker a congratulatory telegram. Forcing the Issue There is every reason to suppose that the speech was a deliberate attempt to force the issue which Hitler finally met with force. Hitherto he has maintained a clever middle ground. On the one side are the great land-owning junkers, the members of the aristocratic Harren Klub, some of the big industrialists, who hold that the revolution has gone far enough; that the time for fanaticism has passed and that constructive work must begin. On the left is the section of the Nazi party led by Dr. Goebbels, Herr Rosenberg, Baldur von Schirach, leader of the Hitler Youth movement, and Dr. Ley, head of the Nazi labor movement. These men insist that the "Socialism” in national Socialism must now be emphasized in order to keep faith with the masses.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘KINGMAKERS' DF LEGION AIM AT ROOSEVELT Three Veterans’ Politicians Out to Gain Control of State Parley. (Continued From Page One) is inability to find a strong candidate for national commander. Under the legion constitution, a commander can not hold the office a second term, either consecutively or after an interval. Legion leaders say there are only two veterans of national commander calibre. They are Frank Belgrano, California banker, and Ray Murphy, lowa. Belgrano is a Republican, but is reported a strong Roosevelt adherent. Belgrano Has Edge Mr. Murphy is a Democrat, and he, too, is reported cold to any overtures by the “king makers.” Persons close to legion affairs say Mr. Belgrano has the inside track in the commander race, so it is up to the McNider-Collins-McKee faction to beat the bushes vigorously for a strong entrant, if they expect to continue their control of legion affairs. The so-called reform element of the legion is prepared to fight vigorously any attempt in the Indiana state convention to elect “king maker” delegates to the national convention. Since the visit here in May of McNider and Collins, there have been reports that suites have been taken in a downtown hotel by persons spending money rather freely on pre-convention politics. However, no headquarters have been established openly yet. Close Race Predicted As usual, the Indiana convention promises a hotly, but not bitterly, contested race for state commander. Only a few candidates have done any campaigning so far, but there are a half dozen possibilities being mentioned, the majority of whom are Republicans. Passible candidates are Judge Cleon Mount. Tipton; Bruce Peters, Cambridge City; Frank Kossa, Jeffersonville; George Huish, East Chicago, and Sam Cleland and Pius (Butch) Haas, Ft. Wayne. The state commander race, however, relatively is unimportant. The real issue will be any bid made for Indiana help in the "king makers’ ” national drive on the Roosevelt administration and the New Deal.

142 DEATHS IS TOLL IN U, S, Fireworks Cause Only Five, Survey Shows; Drownings, Accidents Lead. America's celebration of the Fourth of July under widespread police orders for a safe and sane observance resulted in more than 142 violent deaths, a United Press survey revealed today. But the danger from explosives—once most feared on Independence day—was reduced to the lowest point in many years. Only five fireworks deaths were reported. Many thousands, however, suffered injuries in firecrackers and skyrocket accidents, the total running to almost 2,500 in New York City alone. Airplane and traffic accidents killed more than fifty persons throughout the nation as highways were jammed with holiday crowds. About the same number were drowned.

BORAH ASSAILS BOTH PARTIES IN NEW CRUSADE •Bureaucracy’ of New Deal Is Flayed by Idaho Senator. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, July s.—Senator William E. Borah, individualistic as ever, today dedicated himself to a fight against government by bureaucrats. In the first of a series of addresses, the Idaho orator spared neither Republican nor Democratic policies. He attacked the new Republican leadership and cited bureaucracy as the chief threat of the New Deal. What threatens today, he said, is: “Simply that meddlesome, irritating, confusing, undermining, destructive thing called bureaucracy. It is a form of government which steals away man’s rights in the name of public interests and taxes him to death in the name of recovery.” Senator Borah fears that America was headed toward a dictatorial form of government. “I jio not call this Nazi-ism,” he said. “God forbid. Ido not claim it is Fascism or Communism. It is none of these.” “Monopoly.” he said, “is the most vital problem before the American people today.” He attacked Republican policies for leading to this condition and for continuing to ignore it.
